Gilmour, Sowande and Ellington

A brief followup to Li Robbins’ Radio 2 blog post, mainly for my own future reference: the particular movement of Fela Sowande‘s African Suite that was used as the opening theme song for Gilmour’s Albums is the fifth and last, Akinla. (For some reason the CBC Shop claims it’s the first movement, Joyful Day, but unless it was changed or the song changes substantially from that sample, that ain’t it.) The closing theme is Duke Ellington’s Saturday Night Function.
